Shared Event-Memory for a Public Event in Young and Older Adults
Cheriet, Nawël; Folville, Adrien; Bastin, Christine
Applied Cognitive Psychology, v35 n4 p1035-1043 Jul-Aug 2021
This study examined the extent to which individuals can share similar memory representations of a public event and potential age-related differences in memory similarity. Fifty-three young and 59 older Belgian participants completed an online survey, where they recalled the deadly collapse of a bridge in a neighboring country 7 months ago. Results showed no age-related differences in the number of details remembered or the amount of overlap of details within an age group. However, older participants mentioned the consequences of the incident more frequently than younger participants. These findings suggest that individuals who remember the same event can share common memory details and that across-participants memory similarity for a public event remains spared in normal aging.
